Valley Yarns Charlemont Kettle Dye

Valley Yarns Charlemont is a stunning blend of superwash merino, mulberry silk, and polyamide. It is incredibly soft with a lustrous sheen that brings out the kettle dyed jewel-like colors. With 439 yards per hank, it is an incredible value. Charlemont would be beautiful as socks, a shawl, a garment, or more. Try knitting, crocheting, or even weaving with it! Made in Peru.

I used 2 skeins to knit a small shawl for a charity auction. It produced a stunning product that was much fought over. Easy to knit with. Hard to let go.

I purchased several skeins for a lacy crochet sweater in August 2011. Not long after starting the project, it took low priority and 2 years later it remains a UFO. I washed a swatch I'd made a while ago, only to find out the dye bled. I washed in cold water with Eucalan and rinsed with cold water only to find there was a lot of dye in the wash, and even some in the rinse. Very disappointed - and will probably frog the project and wash/rinse the yarn until the dye stops bleeding. Not what I expected from a WEBS yarn! I haven't seen any similar complaints, so hopefully dye issues were limited to this color and or dyelot.

This was a gift to a mother whose son was grieviously assaulted and is now wheel chair bound. I had our priest dedicate the shawl and she was very touched by the feel of the wool, the colors and how well the colors complimented her.

I fell in live with this yarn as soon as I opened the box! I purchased this in a green color way. Though I am still knitting with the first skein, I already can see that the dying is even and the colors flow beautifully into one another. The texture only improves with knitting! So far I have knitted part of a sweater in stockinette and I just want to snuggle with it! Thanks for a lovely product.

I bought this yarn to make a sweater for a Christmas gift but found that this yarn was too small for the project I wanted to do. I'm not used to working with such small yarn and especially on a large project. I love the softness of the yarn and think it would be wonderful to work with on another project. It would make a beautiful scarf or socks.

I have bought this yarn numerous times and always have great results. Its tonal colors enhance lacework and it always meets with rave reviews from others. I can only hope that there will soon be more colors available.
